Welcome to the Fields... We just might meet our goal of
10!
Hello Family and Friends....
This week has been whirl wind! I'm pretty sure my weeks
are feeling like days and its going by soooooo fast!
I have been thinking about Jess all week! I met a lady
whose son is there ( in the Philippines) and they couldn't find him for a
while...BUT then they found him and he is safe! She was having a hard time
especially because they wouldn't let them call or anything. But I know Heavenly
Father will protect his missionaries. I have heard that Jess’ mission isn't
really near the mess. Did you know there are 22 missions there? That's crazy!
Even if she will be going near the mess...Imagine all the love she can give
those people and give them hope. She will be doing a lot of service....HOW
GREAT IS HER CALLING! I would love to do that!
I’m sorry things at school have been hard! I know you
will do great...you always do! :) I can’t even think what math is anymore
hahahaha :)
Speaking of school, I got the picture of Ana, it made me
sad. She looks so different :( My heart is so full for her, I keep putting her name
in the temple. I hope she and her family can feel my love for them from all the
way over here. I hope to be able to see her when I come home too.
So have you thought about when we can come back here? When
are you done with school? When can I plan to see these amazing people again? Also
I will have a baptism when I come back so I wanted to make sure we could
coordinate that :D
No more travels for Chance?
Glad Leah is keeping busy. I have been thinking about her
a lot this week.
Bud and his millions, I think I've decided to go work for
him and not finish school :P hahaha
But really I am going to need a lot of things to do when
I get home. I might follow you around like a puppy. hahaha
Mom, I loved the quote. That's a good one! Our Heavenly
Father is good! Our Savior is good. I love them both and know they are here to
help us. It’s because of them we can experience greatness! I love thinking
about all the things our Gospel provides for us. It’s so much!
This week we found a new investigator! His name is Jeven.
He is super smart and ready to get baptized! WE put him on date for Dec 10th....Yep!
That is my last day! Can you believe it!? I'm super excited for him and I know it’s
going to be a good day. I wouldn't want anything more than to see one more
son/daughter of God come onto the straight and narrow path of righteousness :)
HOW COOL!
This week we will be having Lake and Edge's baptism! We
are super excited for them! They have been working hard and yesterday we asked
them if they are ready. They said "OH YES!!!!!!! LET’S DO IT!" We are so excited! This family is going to be
solid in the gospel. The dad is still working on getting over his Word of
Wisdom issues but the moment he does that...everything is going to be awesome
for this family!
This Sunday we were able to get a lady to church who
hadn't been in 8 years!!!!!!! You thought we were excited to see her.....you
should have seen her husband’s face! He looked like he just won a million
dollars! It was sooooo cool to see! The joy we get from small and simple
things...like seeing our loved ones come to church.
Exchanges with the other Sisters have been so good for me
lately. Not only have I been learning how to be a better
missionary/person/leader…but It’s been keeping me busy and motivated. You would
think its super easy to just work hard since it’s been that way my whole mission...
but sometimes it’s the small things Satan tries to creep in and tries to
destroy everything. I am so grateful for my companion she has been so patient
with me and helping me. I am grateful for it! I know when this time comes for
her (going home) she will better understand. I just pray we can continue to
work hard together and get our 10!!!! :)
I love my mission....
I love people....
I love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!
I love knowing everything is going to be okay because God
has a plan for us.
I love knowing we can pray whenever we want!
I love that prayer is a 2 way communication!
I love that Every time I walk into someone’s home, I have
the privilege of exchanging their spiritual rags for spiritual robes and help
them become something greater!
I love knowing trails aren't meant to just push us, they
are a sign to us showing us that God knows we are ready for growth.
I love I can see everyone as "Gold"... we all
have a purpose here.
I love the people I have become friends with and will
forever be friends with.
I love the priesthood and the opportunity I have as a
woman to benefit from it.
I love that God trusts me... I may not trust Him
always...but He will never fail me.
I love that I know I am a child of God.
I love that I get to try all sorts of crazy foods...like
Peruvian food! :P
I love my mission...
Funny quotes form this week:
Sister Larsen, “Gage, what does it mean to you that we
only worship one God?"
Gage, “Well Mythology isn't true then!" hahaha
Richard, "SISTERS! I have always wondered...."
Us, " Yes Richard...what is it..."
Richard, " I have always wondered which one tastes
better.....a black cow or a brown cow?"
hahahaha we died laughing!
This was such a great week! :)
Well, family I hope and pray that all is well with you!
May you know that I love you and pray for you each day! ...even those who are
far away.
Be a good Christian this week....LOVE those around you.
Pray for ways you could be more Christ like :)...Did you know that Meekness is
one of the most crucial attributes one could have? Did know also that if we are
meek it doesn't mean that we are weak...it just means that we act in kindness.
Interesting thought... Keep that in mind. Dare to be different than the world!
Thank you for your love and support!
Mom, Dad, Bud and Leah..... I love you!
